Overview

Mission

Fund Raising and Fund Distribution

What it reported funding in 2020

The foundation reported 1 grant totaling $5,000. The stated grant purpose was benevolence.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this foundation funds its work.
Distribution model
No current program activity. The filing reports no charitable disbursements for the current year.

The verdict

AVOID - The strongest available result is that the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of spending goes to grants and assets provide a limited cushion relative to annual grants.
